[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2811622, member: 118038"] Id be interested in your experience w Staball 6.5 In my experience the most gross deviation I have seen for BA has been due to temperature. Normally, I might see 5 or 12% deviation in normal temps or in changing lot numbers of powder from default which is always at 70 deg F. If you manipulate input temperature, you will see it changes BA. And in the real world this is exactly what happens. Over 90 Degrees and in a hot chamber that may be 120 or 130, you can throw default BA out the window. So, what have you seen w Staball 6.5? Its showing .54 burn rate, just a tad slower than H4895 and faster than H4350. But it may be very temp sensitive, especially if you are shooting rapid semi auto in an AR platform w hot chamber? Butterbean says its good for campfire starter and fertilizer.....🙂 [/QUOTE]
